Guide

Players can enter the seasonal event instance The Pâtisserie solo or with up to 4 players, with an option to matchmake. This is done by speaking to a House Valentione Pâtissier, located at Mih Khetto's Amphitheatre in Old Gridania or the Acorn Orchard in New Gridania.

During the instance, players need to collect ingredients from the shelves at the edge of the room, and carry them to the cakes in the middle of the room, while avoiding the Mammet Pâtissiers that patrol the area. Should a player be spotted by a mammet, it will follow them and fire large conal ice AoEs (Sugar Blizzard). Being hit by a mammet's AoE will inflict Deep Freeze for 10 seconds and cause the player to lose any ingredient they are currently carrying.

Many different types of cakes can be made, each of which requires a different combination of ingredients. The party can create up to five cakes. The first cake will always be a heart berry cake using the simpler recipe. The second, third and fourth cakes will be randomly chosen recipes. The fifth and final cake has no specific ingredient requirements, only needing 4 ingredients submitted per category. The NPC Kupka Kupp will automatically update the duty progress with the needed ingredients, and the shelves with the correct ingredients will sparkle. Upon completing the second cake, the background music will change and the mammets will move faster. This happens again upon completing the fourth cake.

Players have access to the duty action "Bake: Off", which will temporarily disable mammets in a cone in front of the user, causing them to lose aggro. This can hold up to 3 charges, with a charge recovering every 15 seconds. However, this action has an animation lock (which can leave the user vulnerable to a mammet's AoE), and it cannot be used while carrying an ingredient.

The duty has a time limit of 10 minutes from when Kupka Kupp calls out the first batch of ingredients. When this time limit runs out, the duty ends, even if some cakes are not yet finished. If in a matched party, players will then have an opportunity to give Player Commendations to their matched party members.

Tips

Given that there are four different sections in the map each containing one category of ingredient, and each cake requires four items from each ingredient category, it is recommended for players in a light party to split up so each player is responsible for one section only.
Sprint and all class/job actions except for Bake: Off are disabled in this duty, so players cannot use jobs with movement actions (e.g. dancer) to gain an advantage.
If players find they are carrying an excess ingredient when the quota is filled, they can right-click off the "Carrying" buff.

Cake Recipes

There are 25 cake presets, each with two possible recipes. The recipe is given to the party. If players make it that far, the fifth and final cake allows four of any type of ingredient in each category.

Thank you for agreeing to help decorate the cakes, kupo!

'Tis a simple matter of carrying the ingredients from the shelves around the room to the central cake stands.

The ingredients you need are no doubt twinkling with anticipation, kupo!

There is, of course, the matter of the mammet pâtissiers. Should they spot you, use the whistle to temporarily disable them!

First up: one heart berry cake, if you please!

Ready, steady...decorate!

The ingredients are on shelves around the room! Fetch the ingredients in the recipe, kupo!
